seteacher says "Do not get sucked into their free "safety seminar"." about Babee Tenda Safety Convertible Crib

When I was about five months pregant, I was invited to a free baby "safety seminar" at a hotel. It ended up being a Baby Tenda rep grossly exaggerating the unsafe nature and durability of every baby product on the market, praying on the nesting instincts of a pregnant woman.

We paid $650 for a crib/day bed with many more cons than pros. In fact the only good thing I have to say about it is that I liked the nifty little doors. After my c-section it was hard to bend over the crib, but I could unlatch the door and slide my baby out. The two handed latch was great for safety, but difficult to open.

Now for the cons. The crib in not standard size, therefore you can only use their sheets (blue, pink or yellow). The bed that was touted as indestructible was far from. The "safety expert" said our baby could use the day bed until age eight. I was reluctant to believe that, but I did believe age 6. He jumped up at down, showing how strong the bed was and demonstrated how a...

seteacher says "This video is fantastic" about Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss

I absoulutely love this video. II;ve been using it for about a year. It has helped me with lower back pain, reduce stress and lose weight. Suzanne Deason is an excellent instructor. She speaks in a very calming voice. She gives several modifications (fully modified, partially modified, slightly modified and full postures) for many of the poses so you can work at your own level and progress to the higher levels. Suzanne gives an informatative narrative at the beginning of the video. She starts with a few warm up exercises on the floor, including child's pose and cat/cow. Then, she does some more warm up excercises standing up, including chair pose. Next, she focuses on standing poses, with my favorite--wide legged-down dog. The video ends with some floor poses, such as bridge pose, spinal twist and corpse pose. The only thing I might be able to complain about is the lack of any balancing poses. There are a few yoga props you will need to invest in if you choose to...

seteacher says "Overall this is a great microwave." about Panasonic Inverter model # NNH765BF

I've had this microwave for about 4 months, and it works great. I like the turbo defost, quick minute, sensor cook and keep warm features. The microwave is easy to clean. So far, it seems to be a good value. We purchased a trim kit and insert to turn this counter top model into a built-in above our built-in oven.

A few things bother me about the mircowave, but not to a high decree. Most noteablely, you have to really push on the button to get the microwave to open. Even after 4 months, I often end up pushing it twice to get the latch to lift. Another thing that annoys me slightly is the inablility to use the microwave and the timer feature at the same time. Lastly, you have to select a time for the warm hold feature. My last microwave had this feature, but it was much more convientent to be able to let the warm hold run until I was finished with whatever needed to be finished.

Overall, it is a great microwave.
